Anna Lau Birth Record
The church register also shows the record for Anna's brother Albert Heinrich Lau who was born August 4, 1899.
Note the birth locations for Anna and Albert: 81 Grand Street in Philadelphia for Anna, and 81 Grand Street in Hoboken for Albert.
There is no Grand Street in Philadelphia, but there is for Hoboken. Between 1895 and 1899, the family moved from Philadelphia where Anna was born
to Hoboken where Albert was born. The records were probably transcribed from an earlier register and the later street name was used for both entries.
Also, note in Anna's index record, she was born in Philadelphia in 1895 but not baptised until 1901 after they moved to Hoboken. In fact,
Anna and Albert were baptised the same day, September 4, 1901, six years after Anna's birth and two years after Albert's.
